After a workout on Tuesday, former Green Bay Packers quarterback Kurt Benkert is headed to San Francisco to join the 49ers practice squad, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.
Benkert spent the 2021 season with the Packers. He was released on June 17 of this year.
The 49ers will be Benkert’s first team since leaving Green Bay. He previously worked out for the Houston Texans and Chicago Bears.
While with the Packers, Benkert played in just one game – kneeling twice for -1 yard in the final moments of a win over the Bears last season.
